The detail and effort that has gone into the natural design of Soneva Fushi is so impressive. Stopping to relax at one of the deserted beaches, you'll find a chair carved from a giant tree trunk. Even artwork located around the resort has been created from recycled materials such as wine bottles. It truly is amazing both visually and environmentally.
Soneva Fushi's philosophy 'No news, No Shoes' is also fundamental to the experience they want to deliver. You’re encouraged to unwind and feel the sand between your toes. Soneva wants you to disconnect from the stresses of daily life and reconnect with the earth.
The service at Soneva Fushi is something that they are extremely proud of. Nothing is too difficult for the Soneva Fushi expert hosts and this really does set Soneva Fushi apart from other resorts.
For an island as spacious as Soneva Fushi, having only 63 beach villas and 8 water retreats means that the majority of the island is yours to explore. The villas are designed to feel like your very own ultimate luxury Robinson Crusoe escape and will surpass even your wildest of dreams.
Soneva Fushi has multiple dining options each with a unique setting. One night you might dine at Fresh in the Garden, set in the canopy of the trees and the next day have lunch at Out of the Blue, set over their turquoise lagoon with access to the house reef via a waterslide!
This resort is full of activities, even riding your bike to breakfast is an adventure. Soneva Fushi has an amazing house reef for snorkelling, an outdoor cinema Cinema Paradiso screening movies after sundown and even the Maldives' only Observatory to gaze at planets and stars after dinner.
VILLAS
The luxurious Water Retreats are simply breathtaking. Welcome to your home over water! A two-storey Robinson Crusoe private oasis, complete with water-slide. From the retracting roof over the master bed for star gazing to the dining table set over a glass bottom floor, these retreats are nothing other than spectacular.
Each Beach Villa is extremely private, surrounded by lush palm jungle, with its own stretch of beautiful beach to enjoy. For the avid snorkelers, we will book you a villa on the sunset side, and for those wanting absolute privacy, we will book you on the sunrise side of the island.
Soneva Fushi believes that bathrooms are a place that should be luxurious which is why every villas’s bathroom is over-sized with indulgent features such a lounge, waterfall feature, open-air rain shower and soaker tub under the stars.
DINING
Soneva Fushi offers incredible dining experiences, all keeping with that castaway island feeling. The food is exceptional and they are extremely proud of their extensive organic garden which supports all of their restaurants. Soneva Fushi is a resort with a true conscience.
Out of the Blue is not just a restaurant but a place to retreat. Set over-water in Soneva Fushi’s stunning turquoise lagoon, Out of the Blue is a stunning place you can spend the day. It has a two-storey water slide which is the perfect way to enter their spectacular house reef. Choose to dine in one of many different locations in this beautiful over-water haven. The sunsets here are heaven on earth.
Fresh in the Garden has to be one of the most amazing restaurants you’ll ever experience. Built in the canopy of tropical banana trees and accessed by a swinging bridge, you will dine under the stars or surrounding the chefs at their cooking station watching them prepare these gourmet meals.
If you prefer to escape to an uninhabited island, Sobah's Restaurant is a traditional Maldivian restaurant only 15 minutes by speedboat . This exclusive beach restaurant seats only 18 for dinner and includes an introduction to the beautiful star filled night sky from Soneva’s resident astronomer. Definitely an experience of a lifetime.
The main restaurant, Mihiree Mithaa (meaning ‘here it is’) has a glorious jungle feel with a natural sand based floor, white stucco walls and a gorgeous alfresco setting on the beach for breakfast. Mihiree Mithaa is exactly that, a beautiful restaurant set right on the beach. Down to Earth is a fantastic dining destination all about celebrating the sense of togetherness with loved ones by creating dishes designed for sharing.
